I would say that school was there to teach me things, however I had already ran into the "you'll learn how to do that in a few years" and "until then do it like this" as well as skipping ahead by reading the book. I was not quite as cynical as I later became but the seeds and desire to question everything I was told were there at least.
Had long hair since I was a kid as well so learned early that some people attempt to pick on anything different to them.
Would have been a while before I learned some more science to know why perpetual motion or at least the nature of massive semi long term energy storage and transport would render some ideas infeasible under earth gravity.

I suppose it would be the limitations of my physicality were not made apparent for a few years yet.

I believed 3 things:
that that if i put a DS lite in the microwave it will shrink and will be a DS lite Micro
And that the Characters in Mario Kart DS can hear/talk back to me if i was screaming into the microphone
and that if you dont finish Star Road in Super Mario World fast enough the save data will delete its self

Man... my childhood was weird for sure :yaynds::yaysp::wtf::wacko::blink::unsure::unsure::unsure::rofl2::rofl2:

I thought that TV shows (at least cartoons) were taking place in another world or even universe and that you could possibly go into their world via jumping into the TV.
I also used to believe that the inside of a computer looked a lot like the computer world in TRON.

I am surprised no one has said "religion". It was somewhere around that age I was in bible study, and I was like "wait. WTF did that book just say?". Shortly after that I stopped believing in something just because a grownup said it was true.

I though that world was so big that in some places there were exactly some people like me. Later I though I have people like me but in another race version.
